8.3.2 Update initrd

In a sharedroot cluster, the cluster configuration file /etc/cluster/cluster.conf must be copied

into the initrd. Therefore the process of updating the cluster configuration is combined with

updating the initrd.

1. Copy the file /opt/atix/comoonics-cs/xsl/updateinitrd.xml to

/etc/comonics/enterprisecopy/updateinitrd.xml

2. Adjust the settings of /etc/comonics/enterprisecopy/updateinitrd.xml to fit your needs,

e.g., define the correct boot device:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE enterprisecopy SYSTEM "/opt/atix/comoonics-cs/xml/comoonics-

enterprise-copy.dtd">

[...]

3. Use the comoonics enterprise copy tool com-ec to begin the update process. Do not

forget to increment the cluster_version value in advance.

# com-ec /etc/comonics/enterprisecopy/updateinitrd.xml

8.3.3 Cluster Clone

The comoonics enterprise copy software solution can be used to create a bootable or

archived clone of the diskless sharedroot cluster. To create a bootable clone, the following

steps must be performed:

1. Copy the file /opt/atix/comoonics-cs/xsl/localclone.xsl to

/etc/comoonics/enterprisecopy/localclone.xml

2. Adjust the settings of /etc/comoonics/enterprisecopy/localclone.xml to fit your needs.

Ensure that the source disks and destination disks are correct. Be aware that all data

on the target destination disk will be deleted during a cloning process.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE localclone SYSTEM "/opt/atix/comoonics-cs/xml/comoonics-

enterprise-clone.dtd">

</sourcedisks>

</destdisks>

</localclone>

3. Execute the cloning process with the following command:

# com-ec -x /opt/atix/comoonics-cs/xsl/localclone.xsl /etc/comoonics/
